Gefle Katthem

Gefle Katthem is an animal welfare association running its own shelter in Gävle, in Gävleborgs län, Sweden. It takes in homeless, abandoned and surrendered cats and other animals, gives them shelter, food and daily care, and works so that each one finds a permanent home.

Animals placed for adoption leave vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. Its adoption process looks for the best match between animal and family, with visits to the shelter, a prior conversation and follow-up after placement, because the goal is a stable life together for the whole life of the animal.

Anyone wishing to adopt, volunteer or support the work with donations can contact Gefle Katthem directly in Gävle. The shelter also shares advice on responsible ownership, identification and neutering, and receives reports about found animals in its area.
